There is not a lot of information in the resources about the women of the Ahl al-Bayt (as), but we can infer from understanding more about their context what some of their qualities were: they were of the politico-spiritual elite and supported the mission of Islam without putting a foot wrong. This must mean that they were both politically and spiritually knowledgeable. Sayyidah Zaynab (s) was trusted enough to teach in place of Imam al-Husayn (as) if he was not available.

The great status of Sayyeda Zaynab (SA) and Hazrat Abbas (AS) is above our thinking, that is why we can not determine their level of Ismah. It is known to Allah (SWT), the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).
